Eric, anyone can pay lip service to an ideology...and many do.....what sets apart those who really mean what they say, is that they do something concrete about the problem.
They should hand over to the authorities, the men from their community who abuse young and vulnerable girls, branding them and selling their bodies to other men in their community....they should shop those radical men who go abroad to Pakistan to learn how to build bombs, but think it is just fine to draw benefits in our country.
It is no good at all to fast over the period of Ramadan, to give food and money to the poor, to do good deeds, and pretend that this makes you devout, if all the while you are turning a blind eye to the evil in the midst of your community.
Actions are understood without a single word being uttered.
Actions are what count!
